* CandlelitRitual: Yennefer attempts to capture the [[OurGeniesAreDifferent Djinn]] by performing a MagicalIncantation over a nine-pointed star glyph with candles at the points. They blow out in a [[DramaticWind magical wind]] when [[spoiler:the Djinn possesses her instead.]]

* CompositeCharacter: The mayor of Rinde featured in the show is a combination of two characters from the short story "The Last Wish": Neville (who was the mayor in the story) and the Novigradian merchant Beau Berrant (whose house Yennefer took possession of and was put under her spell.)
* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to "Literature/TheLastWish" short story the episode is based on. The original story is mostly comedic in tone, and while Yennefer is shown to be manipulative in it, she also displays a conscience as she tries to have Jaskier use his last wish to free Geralt of the crimes she made him do. Meanwhile, the episode plays out under a more sinister guise, and [[AdaptationalVillainy Yennefer comes across as downright diabolical]], mind controlling people to take part in an orgy for her amusement, intimidating Jaskier into using up his wishes, and not caring at all what happens to Geralt once he's thrown in prison.

* FriendshipDenial: Geralt is still denying that he can Jaskier are friends, which is clearly nonsense. As Jaskier puts it, do they need to know each for ''another'' decade to be friends? Geralt then spends the rest of the episode trying to save Jaskier's life, even willing to let a "malicious" witch name her price for a magical remedy.
* GladToBeAliveSex: Geralt and Yennefer indulge in this...[[SlapSlapKiss after a bit of arguing over who's more responsible for the djinn nearly killing them both]].
